Hellooo Consult any psychologist ....go for counselling sessions and start using some natural ways Most of us spend a lot of time worrying about the future, revisiting events in the past which brings about a variety of negative emotions and this leaves us on a spiral which seems difficult to break away from. Some ways to manage negative thoughts are : Identify your thought distortions: we often encounter thoughts which reinforce our negative thinking. These are ways of convincing us of something which isn’t true. Seeing everything as one way or another can be labelled as black and white thinking which forbids one from recognising other possibilities. Catastrophizingis another faulty thinking pattern where one is preoccupied with assuming the worst possible outcomes. Magnification involves exaggerating the importance of shortcomings while minimising the favourable situations and qualities. There are various other distortions which influence our thinking patterns. Identifying these distortions can help us in appraising the situation in a better way and act accordingly. Break away from the pattern : By putting in a conscious effort, we can break the negative thought patterns. Each time you encounter a negative thought, ask yourself whether there is any evidence which supports that thought. Make it a habit to do so in order to break away from the pattern. The second step involves replacing those thoughts with more realistic and positive thoughts to bring about a change in how you feel. Challenge negative thoughts : Whenever a distorted thought comes up, take a pause and evaluate its accuracy. Ask yourself how would you respond to the same thought if it was shared by a closed one. Releasing judgement : Let go of judgement which pertains to your thoughts. Constantly calling out yourself for thinking a certain way might not help. Instead, observe your thoughts non-judgementally and let them pass. Seek support in your endeavours: If you are unable to manage your thoughts and find yourself getting preoccupied to the extent that it hampers your everyday functioning, reach out for professional support which can help you manage distress associated with these thoughts.
